I think that this was the best episode ever. I would have loved to have heard some of the comments about how it was presented, without garnish and on a board! That must have made making up their "boxes" pretty interesting.
The Finale unique show, backyard competition, with Judges View.
Myron, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." We have seen Myron each show give us his "talking Shxx" competition face, but Myron generally left us with a bad taste. He even surprised us the last couple of shows, making us feel he is just a Good Ol Boy when you get to know him. Unfortunately this final show Myron was Myron, foul mouthed, sour disposition, and just no consideration for others when it comes to running his mouth. The woman judge is not going to be very happy to hear Myrons comments when she views this episode.
Johnny Trig, he may be getting old, but he is a fighter and a lover with that big Ol Texas charm. Johnny may have a quick trigger when his temper flares, but there is a smoothness and confidence that has been proven time after time, he is one of the best rib cookers in America. They chose the right guy to host the final episode, it was fun to watch.
Tuffy Stone, is sort of the tech qeek, with more technical training that all the others (went to culinary school), its fun to watch him sweat it out, he must have left his laptop home, filled with tons of notes, but apparently no Baby Back notes. At the end of last weeks show he could barely stand he was so tired, and it looked like the long drive from Virginia to Texas left him a bit punchy and tired at the end of the final. For me you can't help but like him.
Lee Ann Whippen, she knows bbq, but seems to need a lot of help. A few weeks ago it was her BBQ Guru Cyber Q, after she wrote off her boy-friend who wasn't helping her enough. You have to know her dad must have given her a ton of support when she first started BBQ contests. Yet with years of experience she forgets simple things. Her cookers need electricity, yet she doesn't take a backup generator. Lee Ann borrows a couple of new Green Egg cookers, and instead of seasoning them the night before while everyone is eating and drinking, she gets burned by the real owner's use of lighter fluid. Though Lee Ann is fairly intense, when she does let her hair down I think she would be fun, and she isn't hard to look at either. She should advertise for a boy friend on Craigslist, "I'm an attractive girl with bbq pit and cooking skills, you must have big enough truck to tow my rig, and a house to park it at!"
Harry Soo, 2 years ago voted best calif. rookie BBQ team, then voted runner up best bbq team in Calif. Harry is a asian dude with a mission, "asians can cook American BBQ too, with the best Q cookers". He reminds me of my brother-in-law, humble yet earnest in his desire to be the best. Always polite, and seems pretty considerate of others. We got to see Harry hold down his gear in hard rain and wind, while the others were asleep in the big motor homes, yet Harry was prepared when his PID controller was soaked, Harry had a backup (Lee Ann should take notes). So it was nice to see Harry, with his WSM's take the big boys head on and come out on top.
Jamie Geer, was a relative new comer appearing in the last couple of episodes. If he was in episode one and two, I don't rem. him? Last week's episode was fun because he felt he was not in the same class as the big time cookers but he won the Rib 1st place anyway. One thing we know after watching the entire Pitmaster season, Jamie Geer is one of the Big Boys when it come to building quality Pits. With 2 of the Pitmaster's competitors using a Geer Jambopit. Jamie showed that famous Texas sand (he ain't runnin he's fighting back), after getting beat up on Baby Backs, dumping a truckload of ceyenne on his St.Louis trimed ribs.
Paul Petersen, you have to wonder how he got on the show? While Paul may be an exec. chef for a local restaurant in McKinney, Texas, I don't think I saw him do much right any episode. For one thing he was perpetually sloppy, right to the very end in the Final, he lifts up one of his $3500 ribs and either a chunk of meat or fat is hanging off the side. Really you pay $175 for a injector and don't examine the fittings to make sure your injection with spices can go through all the fittings? Johnny Trig tutored Paul, yet Paul still wanted to experiment thinking he could improve on perfection. Paul though has been fun, he is almost the comic relief in the show. It was great listening to his youthful Texas accent, and always optimistic cocky attitude.
I think we heard everyone say they wanted to bring Myron down a peg or two. I can tell you Myron doesn't care, just as long as he gets the "damn money"!
Pitmaster's season was a rough ride, and needs a lot of improvement, but for Q-men like SMF members most of us enjoyed hearing and watching people talk smoke.

Good summary Delta....I really enjoyed all the episodes.
It's strange though - last night's deal was pretty cool, but I don't think they said anything about who these 4 judges were. Based on their comments, I'm not sure if they knew a good rib as good as 80% of the people here do! They just seemed to have a comment or two that didn't make sense to me, but what I do know - I've haven't yet done a comp.

If anyone had any doubts about that stuff in the bottle that was squirted on the ribs by several of them in past shows....Lee Ann certainly cleared that up...!!! Got to try that on my spares !!!

I've been watching the show as well, and while the first couple of episodes didn't do much for me, as the season went on they seemed to hit their stride. I think they need to focus on fewer pitmasters per episode and let the viewer really get a feel for what each one is doing. I don't expect to get all the secrets that the pitmasters are using, but it'd be nice to get more background info on them, hear more about their thoughts and methods at little bit. The way they break the show up now, it's just soundbite after soundbite.
I've come to like Myron a little bit lately, but the way they just plug in his sarcastic remarks between segments, it makes it hard to really care about the guy. Lee Ann sounds like she's perpetually lost and the rest, well, you get the picture.
In all, last night's show was a good one, great way to end the season in my opinion. You got to see that all of them were friendly towards one another, enjoyed each other's company. And while I believe the Virginia-based cooks were there only because it was part of their TV contract, it was fun to see how serious they all were about being the "best". If you were to set up a dream competition, I don't think you could've done much better with the contestant choices.
A few things for next season that I'd like to see are:
More info on the competitor's. Don't give me that 10 second by-line "3-time world champion, multiple time, yada yada" Give me some background info on these people, make me care about them a little bit.
Less "drama" editing. It seemed like they wanted to have conflict and tempers flaring up throughout the show, and honestly, I just didn't buy it. I could see they were manufacturing alot of their "rivalries"
A few cooking tips here and there. Why not spend a few minutes showing people the basics of bbq? You don't have to devote an entire episode to the "how-to" segment, but you could certainly do more than throw up a small text graphic that says "Pork shoulder is from the front part of the pig". I mean, come on. LOL
And finally, why not keep a running tally of the scores from all of your pitmasters on the show? Let us see who did the best overall on the BBQ circuit that season? You get those stats on sports all the time, why not in BBQ? I'd love to know that info and I"m sure others would too.
Sorry for the long winded post, I just love the fact they finally devoted a decent show to BBQ and would like to see it continue! LOL

Loved this series. At first didn't think much of Myrons talk and brashness, but if you didn't take him serious he was actually funny. IMO the show wouldn't be the same without him. He adds the spice.
Didn't Myron use a ton of lighter fluid? Wonder why that wasn't noticed? I have a WSM so props to the winner.
